NXT was given a prominent spot in the recent Survivor Series PPV and latest reports reveal that the show’s evolution into its own brand will continue at the upcoming Royal Rumble PPV as well.
Bryan Alvarez talked about the upcoming PPV on the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Live and revealed that this year, the Black and Yellow brand is also being factored into the plans for the event.
While NXT stars have previously been included into Royal Rumble matches, they are usually given one or two spots in the match with no real possibility of winning the bout.
However, this year the company is planning to distribute the star power more equally and per the reports, all three brands will have 10 spots each in both the male and female Royal Rumble matches this year.
While there will be no Takeover event accompanying Royal Rumble this year, WWE has announced a Worlds Collide event which will see stars from NXT and NXT UK competing against each other the night before the PPV.
So the officials will have stars from both the rosters available in the area and it’s expected that the company will choose the list of NXT stars for the Battle Royal considering both the rosters as one, similar to Survivor Series.
The next Royal Rumble event will take place on January 26, 2020 at the Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas.
